Speaker 1: Saw the video of you talked to Rock after the game,
Speaker 1: telling you how much you believed in him, how crazy
Speaker 1: it was that he was doing what he was doing.
Speaker 2: What were you feeling in that moment.
Speaker 3: That made you say that it stuff to him.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I was feeling anything. I was happy.
Speaker 2: We want.
Speaker 4: You were so young, you were a rookie the last
Speaker 4: time you were in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: What what have you learned?
Speaker 3: How did that experience shape you to what you are now?
Speaker 3: And how are you using whatever you learn for the
Speaker 3: younger guys.
Speaker 2: It definitely you learn a lot going through a long
Speaker 2: season in nineteen and you don't understand it as much
Speaker 2: as a rookie how hard it is to get there,
Speaker 2: but just how hard you have to play and how
Speaker 2: locked in you have to be for the entire four
Speaker 2: quarters if you want to if you actually want to win.
Speaker 2: And I've l I've learned that, and I'm gonna just
Speaker 2: relay to the guys that, uh, there has to be
Speaker 2: a different different level of effort, of intensity, of unselfishness
Speaker 2: that you have to get too for every single snap
Speaker 2: that you're in there?
Speaker 4: Or does that a million years ago?
Speaker 2: Because of COVID, it seems like a pretty good amount
Speaker 2: of time ago. Honestly, a lot has happened after that
Speaker 2: game that you were going to watch it. You didn't
Speaker 2: watch it.
Speaker 1: Have Have you indeed watched it or been forced to
Speaker 1: watch it this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've watched it. Yeah, what kind of kind of
Speaker 2: feeling that bring up? It's definitely just start sweating a
Speaker 2: little bit. But uh, it's fun to watch. I mean,
Speaker 2: our defense a Super Bowl defense right there, and uh,
Speaker 2: and we got to take a page of that if
Speaker 2: we want to go win it on which one? Uh,
Speaker 2: I don't think they had the back view, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure Eric Fisher.
Speaker 1: Defense is playing the level of that twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: In the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: So soon your current defense has been playing that intensity
Speaker 2: level that the twenty nineteen units playing in that game.
Speaker 2: I think we are just not as consistently as we
Speaker 2: need to be.
Speaker 5: To stop.
Speaker 2: They're running back runs really hard, and then all the
Speaker 2: other threats that Mahomes and everybody else create kind of
Speaker 2: open it up because you're not expecting as much of
Speaker 2: a run heavy game. And but yeah, they have a
Speaker 2: really good O line and I think Pacheco has kind
Speaker 2: of revamped their run game.
Speaker 3: In the Super Bowl. How long did it take to
Speaker 3: kind of get pasted it felt fine? Or have you
Speaker 3: gotten to that point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember exactly, but I remember thinking a
Speaker 2: lot about it in Fort Lardale when we weren't allowed
Speaker 2: to do much of anything.
Speaker 1: You come across as soft spoken and kind of easy going.
Speaker 1: But who in your in your guys d line room
Speaker 1: holds guys accountable to the kind of speed and effort
Speaker 1: energy you want to see everything every game.
Speaker 2: I think Chris starts there and tap and uh, definitely
Speaker 2: me and Eric. We try to create a standard over
Speaker 2: the years that that effort is is what we do
Speaker 2: best and and we definitely need to keep that up.
Speaker 2: I think keeping him in the pocket as best as
Speaker 2: he can is one of the big things, just because
Speaker 2: he loves to improvise and do all that stuff and
Speaker 2: then full on effort. Kyle called it. Defensive line stamina
Speaker 2: is the key to the game.
Speaker 3: Unselfishly. Have you dealt with players being selfish at.
Speaker 2: All this season? No? No, not outwardly or anything like that.
Speaker 2: It's just the way you play the game. You have
Speaker 2: to You have to play with the mindset that you're
Speaker 2: the only guy out there. At times it's it's something
Speaker 2: you have to wrap. You don't just turn on and
Speaker 2: off when you're a backside player and the plays forty
Speaker 2: yards away from you. It's just human nature to slow down,
Speaker 2: or maybe it comes out of your vision for a
Speaker 2: second so you don't see it. You think three guys
Speaker 2: are over there. It's a mindset of just going and
Speaker 2: going and going and going and going, and and that's
Speaker 2: what we need to do.
Speaker 3: He wanted everybody to get their affairs in order, basically family, travel, accommodations,
Speaker 3: all the stuff that goes with What was that all
Speaker 3: done for you?
Speaker 2: Or yeah, I don't deal with that, my mother does.
Speaker 2: And you readal about all that emotions and all that
Speaker 2: they he'll do. How does that challenge you guys with
Speaker 2: the defense? That's more of a back end type of
Speaker 2: thing question. But uh, he's a great game planner. I'm
Speaker 2: sure he's gonna have some wrinkles for us, and hopefully
Speaker 2: we could anticipate some of them and make the players
Speaker 2: when we need to.
Speaker 4: He got here a little bit over a year ago.
Speaker 4: And how he is now, How have you seen.
Speaker 2: His game change? I don't know if his game has changed.
Speaker 2: I think he's been playing at a high level ever
Speaker 2: since he's gotten here, and he's a valuable piece, a
Speaker 2: super Bowl winner, and somebody knows how to get it done.
Speaker 4: Have a super Bowl like that on your defense.
Speaker 2: Just experience, especially at corner where you're left on an
Speaker 2: island a lot, and just knowing knowing your technique and
Speaker 2: what to do and how to cover guys.
Speaker 3: An emotional standpoint, what does it mean to face the
Speaker 3: same team, the guy's face in it, same coach, same quarterback,
Speaker 3: even the same color uniforms from that day. What does
Speaker 3: it bring.
Speaker 2: It's definitely going to bring some emotion that I'm trying
Speaker 2: to hold back until we get get close. We still
Speaker 2: have a lot of time, so you don't want to
Speaker 2: burn out, but it's going to be an intense day.
Speaker 1: About Taylor and Smith. When you watch them on film,
Speaker 1: Taylor's I think, leaves the NFL with a ton of penalties.
Speaker 1: Anything stand out when you watch.
Speaker 2: Them, they hold a lot.
Speaker 4: I just I just got stage.
Speaker 2: I forgot.
Speaker 5: You talked about, you know, coming out with intensity and
Speaker 5: effort on every single snow, how do you ensure that
Speaker 5: you do that next Sunday for four full quarters and
Speaker 5: not just you know a portion of the game. This
Speaker 5: is kind of in the case of the last couple of.
Speaker 2: Weeks, I think it starts today. I think having two
Speaker 2: weeks is really good because you could kind of just
Speaker 2: ingrain the in your mind game plan wise this week
Speaker 2: and then just pile on repetitions next week. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just having that mindset and knowing that if I'm
Speaker 2: going to give everything I've got, I got to be
Speaker 2: able to get out of the game and the next
Speaker 2: guy has to be fresh and ready to do the same.
Speaker 4: Okay, I've got it. So Christmas and there's been a
Speaker 4: lot to talk about kind of change things. They become
Speaker 4: much more balanced offensively. Would you say it's a I
Speaker 4: don't know from what they've shown from Christmas on a
Speaker 4: dramatically different type of style offense that they're running into
Speaker 4: what you saw in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've watched it in sequence like that.
Speaker 2: I have watched that game, I've watched the playoff game,
Speaker 2: but I don't know exactly how they changed recently.
Speaker 3: Last year, Christian mccaffery's first game, What did you watch
Speaker 3: that game again? And that was that one was pretty
Speaker 3: one sided? What do you remember about that one?
Speaker 2: Definitely some some things that I need to be ready
Speaker 2: for because they were definitely game planning me a little
Speaker 2: bit in that game, So some things that I need
Speaker 2: to be ready for Andy Reid to do, and and
Speaker 2: just as a defense, we were playing goodball. It's just
Speaker 2: about playing four quarters. Some of the cuts and some
Speaker 2: of the chips and stuff that I could be ready for.
Speaker 3: Do you remember the first time that Kyle asked you
Speaker 3: to speak to the team and what kind of emotions
Speaker 3: that that generated in you? And have you literally spoken
Speaker 3: to the team every Saturday since then?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I don't remember the first time, which is surprising,
Speaker 2: but I usually remember traumatic experiences. Was I don't remember?
Speaker 2: But now it's it's been good for me. I've I've
Speaker 2: kind of enjoyed kind of dealing with the stress and
Speaker 2: and kind of facing and something that I'm not used
Speaker 2: to
